1 w. uyers, Builders Asked for Opinion On Rules Changes .Washington, ' H - V t D.C. The partment of commerce has ked hundreds of trade buy- and builders for an opin hion on changes in plywood fe ding rules that could save lions of feet of Douglas fir fiber from rotting on the rest floors of southern and . Antral Oregon. iThe changes are offered in (to amendments to the Com ercial Standard for fir ply- food used by the industry as 'j I oroaa minimum specuica k fon. Among them are new flywood grading rules that Jj pill control the use of white pocket. ?lS This is a disease which . 'starts as a stain and ends as la maze of perforations in the wood rimmed with a white fuzzy substance, cellulose. Ve ieer infected with the disease i In its most advanced stages is excesively weak. Nw Grading Rules The new grading ruls are officially offered by Douglas 'Fir Plywood Association of z Tacoma, Wash., on the basis i of an extensive two-year re search project by the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wise. "For years," Hall said, "there has been no adequate way to use the vast stands of timber affected with this dis ease. We just didn't know enough about it. Our research has now enabled us to write minimum specifications for the use of that portion of this infected veneer which is usa ble. Properly controlled, it will not impair the strength or glue bond of plywood in any way." The forest service estimates that 65 to 100 billion board feet of timber in western Ore gon alone are infected to some degree. Hall said that if the proposed changes are accept ed, up to 50 per cent of this material which has previous ly been culled may be used in plywood. Douglas Fir Plywood asso ciation is pushing the amend ments on behalf of 107 sub scriber mills who account for more than 90 per cent of to tal industry output. Produc tion in 1958 was 6.2 billion square feet. The present Commercial Standard prohibits the use of white pocket veneer and DFPA bars it from plywood bearing DFPA stamps. 16-Year-Old Runs New Art Galley Cleveland, Ohio - HTD - Ro berta Ann Caswell, 16, is boss of the Cleveland area's new est art gallery, a shoestring operation opened recently in a rented real estate shack In suburban South Euclid.
